Dynamic Reconstruction Using Bilateral Lengthening Temporalis Myoplasty for Facial Palsies in Patients with Hereditary Skin Laxity

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open
Summary:. Hereditary skin laxity is a rare condition, some cases of which are also referred to as cutis laxa, and those involving facial skin are considered a target for treatment by plastic surgery as patients present with an aged face, which can reduce

Facial expression recognition through muscle synergies and estimation of facial keypoint displacements through a skin-musculoskeletal model using facial sEMG signals

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
The development of facial expression recognition (FER) and facial expression generation (FEG) systems is essential to enhance human-robot interactions (HRI). The facial action coding system is widely used in FER and FEG tasks, as it offers a framework to

Unveiling Novel Surgical Treatments for Facial Synkinesis: Myectomy of the Posterior Belly of Digastric and Stylohyoid Muscle

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open
Summary:. Facial synkinesis manifests as involuntary muscle movements alongside volitional facial actions and is typically managed with a combination of neuromuscular retraining, botulinum toxin injections, and in some cases, selective neurectomy.
